This Imperial Stout is packed with 9 varietals of malts. A massive dark roast character backed with coffee and chocolate explodes in your mouth. This stout finishes with hints of dark fruits and a pleasant bitterness.

A beautiful mélange of hops creates an aroma evocative of wafts from an alluring fruit bowl. The ever-changing hop scene forges the freestyle of each unique batch... This is our non-scripted play in the 'Hop Drama'.

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES
“Maw Maw’s batch was named for my Great Grandmother who played an important role in my dad’s life. The aroma for this batch is rich with hints of vanilla and toasted nuts, and the taste is well balanced with a warmth which moves to a clean, long finish.”

Deep honey-amber hue with warm, pronounced aromas of under-ripe banana and brown sugar, with spicy notes of white pepper and toasted sesame. Light body with warm texture and long sweet oak, vanilla finish with a touch of bitterness to balance. Reminiscent of a slice of toasted rye bread with honey drizzled on it.
We mash, ferment and distill a lot of Bourbon in house. Our Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskeys also consists of Barrels selected from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana chosen for their unique qualities, heritage, and ability to marry in our blend, always made from a high-rye mash bill.

To create this extraordinary blend, Crown Royal whiskies are hand-selected by our master blender and infused with Regal Gala Apples and apple flavors. The result is a delicious Canadian whisky balanced with notes of crisp apple flavor.

Just like Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel, Gentleman Jack is charcoal mellowed before going into the barrel. Gentleman Jack, however, receives an additional “blessing” when it is charcoal mellowed again after reaching maturity giving it ultimate smoothness. Gentleman Jack is full-bodied with fruit and spices, and its finish is silky, warm, and pleasant. When you drink Gentleman Jack, do so with pride, for this is the whiskey a gentleman orders.

We do things a little differently around here – and that’s what gives Jack Daniel’s its distinctive character. We charcoal mellow our whiskey drop by drop, then let it age in our own handcrafted barrels. And we don’t follow a calendar. Our Tennessee Sippin’ Whiskey is ready only when our tasters say it is. We use our senses, just like Jack Daniel himself did. In fact, more than a century later, our Tennessee Whiskey is still judged the same way. By the way it looks. By the way it smells. And, of course, by the way it tastes.

Jameson Original is a blend of pot still and fine grain whiskeys that is as versatile as it is smooth. Triple-distilled and aged for a minimum of 4 years, this is the timeless whiskey that turned our green bottle into an icon.
Nose: To the nose, Jameson has a light floral fragrance, peppered with spicy wood and sweet notes.

Surprisingly smooth and deliciously different. Juicy but not overpowering, it retains a rich bourbon core. Perfect for whiskey fans, it’s sure to tempt those looking for a cocktail that’s refreshing and new.

After aging, when the bourbon is dumped out of the barrel, some liquid stays trapped deep inside the wood. This is the “Devil’s Cut.” Jim Beam have developed a technique to extract it.
Jim Beam use a proprietary process that extracts the rich bourbon trapped inside the barrel wood. When ready, they then blend this liquid with extra-aged bourbon & bottle it at 90 proof (45% vol.) for robust, premium bourbon with deep colour, aroma, and character.
AROMA: Deep Char with a smoky backdrop.
PALATE: Full bodied with intense vanilla & oak flavors.

Jim Beam Double Oak is first aged in charred American white oak barrels, then poured it into another freshly charred barrel to mature for a second time. The added interaction with the oak wood results in a liquid intense in flavour, smooth in taste.
AROMA: Rich notes of caramel & vanilla with hints of toasted wood.
FLAVOR: Intense caramel & toffee flavors with a distinctive spiced oakiness.

In the early 18th century, Jacob Beam, founder and first distiller, started producing whiskey – white whiskey.
White whiskey is a raw, unfinished spirit. There are two kinds. The first is completely unaged which can also be referred to as "white dog" or "moonshine." The second is a more flavor driven white whiskey, such as Jim Beam Jacob's Ghost. This white whiskey sits in uncharred barrels for 1 year and is filtered before bottling.
AROMA: Light vanilla with soft barrel-aged notes.
PALATE: Hues of whiskey with a sweet flavor & hints of vanilla.

Made with a blend of the finest quality rye to create an extraordinarily smooth yet spicy finish. Described as "patiently aged."
Unveiled in the US in 2012, Knob Creek Rye strikes a wonderful balance between your classic, spicy rye whiskeys and your sweeter, vanilla-fuelled high-rye-content bourbons.
TASTE: Bold rye spiciness with undertones of vanilla and oak.
AROMA: Expansive notes of herbs and rye with nuances of oak.
FINISH: Warm & smooth with spice throughout.

The first line extension to the Maker's Mark range since the '50s, Maker's 46 is essentially the standard expression with added spice. This was not intended to compete with the core expression, instead it's a cousin to it, something different for those that like spicy bourbon. They add this extra dimension by inserting seared French oak staves into the barrels (with the stave profile "number 46" - thus the name).
Nose: Toffee sweetness, fresh cut wood, very toasty aroma, with sweet spices & deep, thick caramel.
Palate: Creamy, very soft. Then explodes with spiciness on the tip of the tongue. Also, nutmeg, mulled wine spices, allspice, cinnamon.
Finish: Sweet spices that concentrates on the tongue.

“Our Columbia Valley Riesling is a blend of Riesling from throughout Washington’s Columbia Valley. We craft it to be a refreshing, off-dry Riesling vintage after vintage. The wine delivers sweet lime and peach character with subtle mineral notes. This is our “any day Riesling”that is a pleasure to drink and easy to match with a variety of foods.”

Aromas of Dutch cocoa, mulberry, vanillan oak and herb-infused tapenade lead to a rich and full and plush palate. Flavors of mocha, cassis and cedar are complemented by a slightly chalky, but fine, long finish.
